Federal courts have ruled the Privacy Act applies equally to the private sector. בנוסף לכך לא כולם חייבים להצהיר על הכנסותיהם. The Revenue Act of 1918 (c.18, 40 Stat. 1057, enacted by Congress on February 24, 1919Sec. 213) controls the wages received by persons whose conduct is effectively connected with a trade or business within the U.S. Government:"... for the purposes of this title. . . the term 'gross income' -"(a) Includes gains, profits,and income derived from salaries,wages, or compensation for personal service (including in the case of the President of the United States, the judges of the Supreme and inferior courts of the United States, and all other officers and employees, whether elected or appointed, of the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, or any political subdivision thereof,or the District of Columbia, the compensation received as such),of whatever kind and in whateverform paid, or from professions,vocations, trades, businesses,commerce, or sales, or dealingsin property, whether real or personal, growing out of the ownership or use of or interest insuch property; also from interest,rent, dividends, securities, or the transaction of any business car-ried on for gain or profit, or gainsor profits and income derivedfrom any source whatever." Under this law, "gross income" includes "gain" and "income" derived from "wages" received by a federal governmentemployee GE). The "income" portion is consideration for their labor, while the nature of "gain" portion remains U.S. Government property transferred into the possessionof the GE "transferee" [see 26USC Sec. 6902]. The "gain" portion creates the liability and dutyto "return" to the U.S. Govern-ment any part of it that cannot be legally retained by the GE. That which can be retained isnoticed on a 1040 form; the balance is returned to the U.S. Treasury. The part which is returned is commonly referred to as tax. To avoid prejudice to property that belongs to the GE, Congress does not permit the "income" portion to be taxed. According to 4 U.S.C. Sec. 111:"State, and so forth, taxation affecting Federal areas; taxation affecting Federal employees; income tax. The United States consents to the taxation of pay or compensation for personal service as an officer or employee ofthe United States, a territory orpossession or political subdivision thereof, the government of the District of Columbia, or an agency or instrumentality of one or more of the foregoing, by a duly constituted taxing authority having jurisdiction, if the taxation does not discriminate against the officer oremployee because of the source of the pay or compensation."By this law the U.S. Government permits state governments to tax it's property (the "gain" portion of "gross income derived from "wages") in the possession of a GE. State governments demonstrate their understanding of this fact by only applying state income taxes to persons who are first required to make and file the Federal income tax return. However, Congress has made no law as to taxation of payor compensation for personal service performed for any person other than the U.S. Government [see 4 U.S.C. Sec. 111]. Congressional intent to exempt privatesector workers from the incometax is demonstrated by 26 U.S.C. Presumed Duties. מיכל פניקס, אריזונה
